	The Muppet Show - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Muppet Show is a television program featuring a cast of Muppets (diverse hand operated puppets, typically with huge eyes and large moving mouths) produced by Jim Henson and his team from 1976 to 1981.
		Other Henson Muppet creations were featured in the films The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, and the Sesame Street–based Follow That Bird, as well as in a large variety of films, made–for–TV movies, direct–to–video children's releases, and television specials.
		The Muppet Show characters went on to star in The Muppet Movie, which was the first film to feature puppets interacting with humans in real–world locations, and later films such as The Great Muppet Caper and The Muppets Take Manhattan.

		One of the running gags on The Muppet Show were absurd fake newscasts provided by a myopic commentator (he later got thick fl horn-rimmed glasses) in a loud checked sportcoat.
		The Muppet newscaster also appeared in several Muppet movies in scenes where a news flash was required by the script.
		In contrast to the Muppet Show gags, which were typically isolated gags, the Muppet newscaster was part of a larger joke in the movies.

		The word "Muppet" itself was said by Henson to have been created by combining the words "marionette" and "puppet"; however, Henson was also known to have stated that it was just something he liked the sound of, and he made up the "marionette/puppet" story while talking to a journalist because it sounded plausible.
		Muppets are distinguished from ventriloquist "dummies", which are typically animated only in the head and face, in that their arms or other features are also mobile and expressive.

		Muppets from Space is a gentle spoof, as befits a movie from a company that's produced its own share of fantasy and sci-fi.
		The Muppets riff on formats from the variety show to the jewel-heist movie to the fairy tale for their own blend of children's puppet show, flower child rebellion, and vaudeville humor.
		The Muppet writers understand children, and although the movie would probably not be scary for all but the smallest kids, it captures very well what it's like to be small and helpless, prodded and probed.

	THE MUPPETS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A term derived from the combination of "marionette" and "puppet," a Muppet is a puppet creature that is manipulated by a puppeteer with at least one hand inside the puppet, used to operate an opening and closing mouth.
		One consequence of this design is that most muppets are left handed as the puppeteer uses his right hand to control the face and the control rod is operated by the left hand.
		In the UK the word muppet has come to be used as a mild term of abuse, meaning a stupid, incompetent, or possibly geeky person.

		This is a Muppet News Flash: Before Jon Stewart or Fox News, there was only one fake newsman on TV - the Muppets' own bespectacled plaid pontificator, the otherwise-unnamed Muppet Newsman.
		It's been said that the only difference between the '70s and the '90s was the choice of colors used for their respective plaids.
		The Newsman's blazer is a beautiful disaster of brown, white and red that perfectly suits the typical notion of an outdated newscaster (or a used car salesman).

		Each disc is decorated with a portrait of one of the Muppet gang — Kermit on disc one, Miss Piggy on disc two, Fozzie on disc three, and Gonzo on disc four.
		The discs are housed in a foldout case decorated with photos of the Muppets on the exterior panels and a detail of the red Muppet Show curtain on the interior panels.
		Hosted by a staid Muppet newscaster who gets progressively more unhinged as the pitch goes on, this proves to be an interesting artifact — especially considering the fact that it in no way resembles what The Muppet Show eventually became.

		One of the running gags on The Muppet Show were absurd fake newscasts provided by a myopic commentator (he later got thick fl hornrim glasses) in a loud checked sportcoat.
		He would race in from stage right--on occassion tripping and falling on his face--and exclaim urgently, "This is a Muppet news flash!" Sometimes he would add something simple as "There is no news tonight," and exit again, stage right.
		Other times he would deliver the news, which was often ridiculous tripe about people being eaten by monsters or hit by localized tidal waves, and then snidley comment on how ridiculous it was.

		Twenty nine years have not aged the Muppets at all and with Disney’s purchase of the Jim Henson Workshop, no episodes will be broken from others, and full season sets, beginning with this first one, are a great boon for Muppet fans.
		In fact, the original pitch reel for the Muppets Show on the fourth disc mentioned “Laugh-In” executive producer, George Schlatter, pairing with Henson on this project, which never came to pass.
		The original pitch reel that Jim Henson used to try to convince the networks of the value of the Muppets is also here, where Henson pokes fun at pitch reels, with a newscaster character shouting about this not being a very subtle pitch.
